Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1-½ cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp. oat fiber
  • 2-½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 3 tbsp. cream cheese
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded  
  • 2 medium jalapeños, sliced or chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl; microwave for 1 minute; stir and repeat microwave for 30 seconds increments or until both are fully melted; stir together to form a melted cheesy mixture.
  • Add the almond flour, oat fiber, salt, pepper, garlic powder, most of the sliced jalapeños and baking powder into the melted cheese mixture; mix together to fully combine the cheese with the dry ingredients.
  • Add in the 2 beaten eggs; mix into the dry ingredients; ensure the ingredients are fully mixed for a more consistent dough; the dough will be sticky.
  • Oil or wet your hands and press the dough in an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper; spread out evenly with your hands.
  • Press the remaining sliced jalapeños intermittently all over the top of the dough.
  • Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the dough has firmed up and cheese has browned slightly on top.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the Jalapeño Cheese Bread to cool slightly before cutting into 12 pieces.
  • Serve with lunch or dinner as a side to a salad; this bread is great when used to make sandwiches.

Notes

Oat fiber is not oat flour; oat fiber is made from grinding the leftover hulls that have been separated from the oat groats; this insoluble fiber is gluten free, zero calorie and very low carb.
